400: Back In The Cage with Guest Carlos Cooper: Gone in 60 Seconds/Joe/USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage

It's our 400th (and penultimate) episode!! So we floor it into the chaos with a full-blown In The Cage episode—the sacred, unhinged tradition where every pick is pure, uncut Nicolas Cage energy. And for a moment this big, you bring back family: Carlos Cooper returns—our one-time permanent co-host turned every-50-episode chaos agent—to ride shotgun one more time before the finale. Three hosts. Three Cage movies. No brakes. Joe comes in hot with Gone in 60 Seconds—chrome, speed, and that mythical Eleanor gliding through traffic like a fever dream. Carlos zag-picks with Joe—gritty, stripped down, and proof that Cage can burn just as slow as he explodes. And Dave…Dave chooses violence with USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage—a war story soaked in sweat, sharks, and sheer Cage intensity. The beers match the moment: we kick things off with Martin House Brewing Company’s Roadhouse Coffee, roll into the heavy artillery with Firestone Walker Brewing Company’s Firestone XXI Anniversary Ale, and finish like kings with the Bourbon County Reserve Brand Blanton’s Stout (2021)—because if you’re going to do #400, you go big, bold, and a little unhinged. It’s loud. It’s loose. It’s everything BaaM has been for 400 episodes—movies, beer, and just enough chaos to keep it dangerous. One episode left. Let’s burn it down.
